Chevy / Dodge / Ford / Toyota Comparison Video

[Bmart]

this video came up on autoblog.com today. it shows some "real world" comparisons ford put together on their test track. it compares towing, hadling, and mpg... curious as to what you all think of the results. i couldn't believe how badly the toyota performed on the speed bumps!

In the process of it loading, I'm going to guess the Ford wins. They wouldn't show another truck winning in their comparison. At least Ford does include the others in their videos unlike the Ram. Will post back in after watching...

 

I was right...Ford won.

 

All competent trucks (except maybe Tundra) "Is the Tundra still attached to itself?" "Barely"

It would be interesting to see what the engine, suspension setups were in this. It would also be interesting to see a 3rd party compare everything. I'm calling BS, just because its a marketing video, and that's all marketing is. Same with the Dodge, GM, and Toyota commercials that call out the others. They all have a few areas they stand above the others and a few areas they fall behind. Lets see a neutral throw down.

 

I'll take my small block with narrow leaf springs and inset shocks over that ugly beast and mod motor any day.

If this is real Wow. Crazy! Good for Ford. This has been a truck many years in the making. For some reason ford just does not do anything for me.

Like somebody said last time this was posted, of course this makes the Ford look best, the test was catered to the strengths of the F150. I'd like to see a similar video, but from a third party.

x2, and one that shows which truck will do better over a longer period of time.

Wow.. the Tundra is about as tough as a flip flop.. that's about what it looks like on that course.

 

I watched those Ford videos a while back. I agree that they need to use third party testers if they want to be fair. I don't care what those videos show.. in 5 years that Ford will be in pieces. That's how every one I've ever dealt with ended up, anyway.

My buddy showed me that video the other day. I couldn't believe how bad the 'Yota looked

so all these clips on AutoInsane are not thrid party? Are they all done by the makers such as ford? Has any one asked autoinsane why they are showing only bais clips if they are not third party? Just want to know first time ever seeing these clips!

All thanks to Toyota's sweet ass "TripleTech™" frame. With 3 frame sections, two C-channel (under cab and under bed), all bolted together.

Not to mention a v6 that will get worse than 19 mpg's on the highway!

As stated in the article they are all made by ford. "Ford shot this video at their Michigan Proving Grounds"

and later "What do you think? Ford says the F150 is the best truck ever produced. Leave a comment below and give us your take."

 

Of course there is a bias, so take the videos with a grain of salt.

Lets face it...if you were to drive a Ford, toyota, dodge, and Chevy....i'm sure you can tell the diff. between them.

 

anyone who is in the market for a truck, will not test drive a truck because they watched the video and it was trashed.

 

that is my 2 cents...
